“The closures will commence about 8am daily and traffic will be able to use the streets from about 4pm each day,” Mr Bath said.

“The network will be reconfigured while this work is undertaken so the power supply can be maintained to all customers.

“We apologise to motorists and the business and residents in the area for the disruption this work will cause, however it is essential to maintain a safe and reliable power supply for thousands of customers in Rockhampton.”
